Curious if anyone has any experience with heated gloves that still provide some dexterity and allow you to shoot w/o issue. I've tried many gloves and even the nicest ones I can get from Cabelas (while still allowing some ability to shoot) give me issues after a little while in the cold. I end...

Interesting. Do they have some pictures of what this looks like on the watch? I'd be able to see 2 dogs directions at the same time?

I ended up ordering one w/ 2 collars last night. Having used sportdog in the past and attaching the remote in an upright position on my vest - how are you attaching this remote to your vest? It looks a decent bit larger w/ no clip on the back.

Where did you guys purchase and how much did you have to pay? I've had SportDog collars for my labs for years but I recently got a GSP and I'm debating buy a new system. It seems like the 1825's I bought last a couple years before batteries get tired and replacement batteries never seem to...

I have not. Looks interesting but was hoping to stay away from a switch of any type. After more looking at that Dogtra 1902s unit, it appears it doesn't have a tone feature which I think would be a deal breaker as well. I use tone heavily to stop and turn my labs in the field - not sure how...

Thanks for the replies. I hunted all weekend toggling back and fourth and it worked OK, I'm mainly concerned as the season goes on and I'm wearing heavier gloves - there's no way I'll be able to flip the tiny switch. Two remotes crossed my mind but would rather not if I don't have to. Has...

For the past 7 years I’ve been using a Sportdog 1825 hunting one lab. This year I have another lab and added a collar. In theory and in the yard the toggle on the remote works well - in the field with gloves it’s proving kind of cumbersome. I use both tone and stimulation when needed...

I've got a 6yr old lab that is crate trained when traveling (back of the truck under the topper) We recently got an 8wk old lab puppy. She's in the crate overnight and when we're gone without issue. What's the right age to put her in a crate in the back of the truck? Right now she sits of...

I appreciate the feedback, guys. It's good to hear other folks experiences in similar situations. She seems no worse for the wear right now and we'll continue to monitor her. Pheasant season is over but I'll get out and run her this weekend - see how it goes! Thanks, Pete

Yes, very much so. I did a lot of reading on EIC and I don't think that's what happened to her. It definitely seemed like a full blown seizure, question being - what caused it... and maybe i'll never know. The one thing I can think of is normally I feed the dog a little in the morning, very...

Interesting. I wish I would have been hunting lighter cover when it happened so I could have seen her better. To the best of my knowledge, she didn't look wobbly or unstable. 3-4min before it happened she was right by me looking for a downed bird - she found it buried deep in the cattails...

Finished the season in SD over the weekend and had a little scare with my 6yo yellow lab. We had been hunting for a few hours and in the middle of a very large cattail slough, I believe she had a seizure – still trying to figure out exactly what happened. I heard her yelping as if I had the...

My lab splintered her toenail the other day when we were out hunting, only reason I noticed is a little blood on the carpet - didn't seem to bother her. I cut it back as far as I could and glued it back together (the best I could). Hunted her today for a quick 1hr hunt - seemed totally fine...
